Miramax's future is looking bleaker by the day with major delays announced in its 2005 schedule. Dear Frankie, the story of a woman who writes letters to her son posing as his father, was due to be released in two weeks time, but is now delayed until March 4. Meanwhile, An Unfinished Life, a drama starring Robert Redford and Jennifer Lopez, was due for release at Christmas but the date is now undecided. The production company that spearheaded a renaissance in US independent cinema in the 1990s announced last month that 65 of its 485 staff would be fired.
